Various Cooperative Extension Service programs were directed toward the rural populations beginning in the early days of the 20th century. These included youth programs through “4-H,” women’s clubs originally known as “Farm Women’s Clubs” and more recently “Extension Homemakers” and currently CEOS, as well as the “Farmer’s Evening Classes” primarily for men as pictured here at a cattle show in Tallmansville, WV, c. 1940’s-1950’s.
